Deteacher Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 Quasimodo: 147,730! Got 5 gems back. Couldn't get to the top of the bells on the 6th run. Those damn bats! MagicMarc-er: If you swing until the bell starts ringing, jump to the next bell when it rings. If you wait too long and you jump on the back swing, you will just fall down. It takes practice, but once you get it, it's easy. Also, if you are going to overshoot a platform, hold the stick in the opposite direction and you will land safely. Keep at it. Once you get the physics down, it really is a lot of fun! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+therealbountybob Posted July 11, 2020 Author Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hold l/r on the bells, don't need more than 2 l/rs to jump off them, keep l/r held when you jump off, jump from the ends of the ropes, I used to jump from higher up so that works too! Yes great game and the physics are fantastic. I had a 189,670 again right at the 6th Jewel, got an idea for a different approach for my next attempt. Possibly the tolerances might be harder on the 2nd run through. Anyone really stuck use the secret teleporter (info above) to practice the bells.

+therealbountybob Posted July 12, 2020 Author Share Posted July 12, 2020 Had a bunch more quasi sessions, I think as you get better the skill challenges get harder - I was having some at 11K getting the 5th or 6th jewel ones done is very difficult, not helped by utter panic as the sounds get you only to realise there were just a couple of soldiers left and you could have done afterall!

carlsson Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Quasimodo - 12390 pts (still on level 2) Orc Attack - 1880 pts (whenever it doesn't outright crash) Also I realized that my Xacti digital camera might be OK to shoot videos with, but sucks bowling balls through drinking straws when it comes to taking still images. I probably should stick to using my smartphone to take pics as it is much newer, much faster and probably higher resolution. I used to use a Samsung compact camera before but the battery door is broken beyond recognition and I'm much too cheap to buy a new camera for the limited amount of photography that I do, in particular as I'm satisfied with the smartphone capacity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Whew! I finally safely returned the third jewel! Quasimodo: 132,950 (returned 5 jewels) Orc Attack: 16,896 You know, I always thought of Quasimodo as a laid back, big-hearted guy. But now I know better... don't take that dude's jewels, or he's off on a murder spree! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
graywest Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 A couple of things about Orc Attack: This isn't mentioned in the manual, but you can smash down the battlements when you're carrying a rock. Get into position behind a battlement, push the button, and then push down. (I think.) The soldier raises the rock above his head and pounds it on the battlement. It takes a number of hits, but eventually it will crumble away and you can drop rocks through the hole. I'm still not sure if this is a good strategy. It allows you to kill orcs who might be otherwise unreachable, but those battlements don't come back and you're then more vulnerable to arrows. Also, dropping rocks on the sorcerer who raises the skulls is worth a lot of points. This can be a trade off, though - focusing on the sorcerer and missing the skulls means you'll lose health. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MagicMarc-er Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Sorry to be a complainer. I think what I find the most frustrating about Quasimodo is that some jumps are so easy and other jumps that appear to be the exact same distance are very difficult. Anyway. Here's my final score on it. 14,600. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deteacher Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Quasi: 214,500! Made it through the 2nd round! Quasi gets ticked off in level 3. Didn't even make it past the first cannonball round, but psyched to make it to level 3. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's great going Deteacher I seem to remember round 3 is the real killer, unfortunately I'm working until Monday evening so we'll extend the round until then (and the poll, if it's closed just post your vote below on the poll thread.

devwebcl Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Quasi 18750 I used to be better... perhaps later I can get a better score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlsson Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Kind of last minute attempts. No improvement on Quasimodo, I can't get across the bells on the second level no matter how much I swing. Orc Attack - 9199 pts, reached the second wizard on round 3. Apparently Orc Attack plays much better on my NTSC Atari 800 than on my PAL Atari 130XE. I don't know it is due to the mysterious fault on my 130XE but the same file(s) that crash randomly with corrupted graphics, play how nice as ever on the 800. And yes, my camera is cheating regarding which part of the picture it is taking an image of. As I wrote before, much better to take pics with my smartphone (though a little more cumbersome to transfer those to the PC). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took me a long time to get the hang of them - I was expecting it to be more like Jungle Hunt, and it's really nothing like that. I can't even describe it.

Should be no problem a couple or swings each way, jump from end of ropes always keeping l/r held even in the air, then hold l to avoid overshoot of last platform On 7/19/2020 at 3:28 AM, graywest said: I still like Quasimodo, but the jumping physics are... odd, to say the least.

No, the second platform with three bells next to eachother. I kind of got to the second bell a couple of times, but not across all the way.
